Ever
imagined or made that magical long reach across a field without having
to worry about colliding with people or dogs??

Well,
you can achieve this regularly by joining the North Hants Buggy Club.
A group of enthusiasts have got together and are currently renting a 20 acre field
in the Basingstoke area for their own use. This land will effectively
be private, with no footpaths or bridle ways across the field, so access is
only allowed to members of the club.

This
move has been partly prompted by the trend of Kite Buggying and Boarding
in public places becoming more restricted due to controls being placed on the
sport by Local Councils. Understandably, this is has come about because of
various incidents that have happened around the country and widely reported by
the media, these incidents are not necessarily linked directly to the sport
itself, but we appear to be suffering from some of the consequences. Our field allows us to practise our recreation without interfering with anyone else, or them to interfere with us (dogs, bikes, people etc.)

The
main reason for the Club is to allow us to go Buggying and Boarding on private
land so that we can be more relaxed when pursuing the sport- A Dedicated
Site for Dedicated Enthusiasts.
